this is a pitch for malleable/end-user software; meta's app isn't interested in feedback because there are just too many of you and you might be lying. _your_ app can accept and believe and immediately act on your feedback

I am continually surprised that this doesn't cause more problems git merge mostly just works without introducing any bugs but it has this seemingly huge flaw! looking forward to an LLM-aided git merge which considers the intent & semantics of each commit while merging

how would one automatically generate these alignments? throwing a bunch of paintings through an embedding model into a similarity search doesn't quite seem like it does the trick: this alignment is so perfect because it's a small crop of the original painting

really enjoying @_MathAcademy_ the gamification is subtle, but strong enough that it's helped me brush up on basics and average ~an hour of math per day for the last 2 months

a great post on how to read prediction market prices, sometimes they're biased even when everyone is acting rationally. be sure to click through to the fed working paper quantian.substack.com/p/market-price…

Let's fly through the stable diffusion embedding space together, each image takes ~30ms to generate: (Many thanks to @Kveykva for doing most of this frontend work)

The existence of undetectable backdoors seems to suggest some kind of impossibility result for alignment: you have no idea what your optimizer might have planted in there: arxiv.org/abs/2204.06974

How do you like your pie? 😋 Many UX and perf improvements planned but @Kveykva and I are cooking 😌

early preview of an sdxl embedding explorer @Kveykva and I are working on, absolutely fascinating things are in the parts of the space (most of it) which can't be prompted

Next time I write a control panel for some system I will write it in Blender and it will come with stunning visualizations:

Airports are the lungs of cities. They perform a crucial gas exchange between the outside world and the bloodstream: the hierarchical road networks cities use to nourish themselves.

Amazingly, this was written _before_ chatGPT was released, and well before plugins.
